Why SWRT
Producing crops on sandy soils requires huge amounts of water and inefficient irrigation wastes water and leaches nutrients. Water is becoming increasingly scarce and retaining it in sandy soils while still allowing for crop production requires a new technology – Soil Water Retention Technology (SWRT)
- Can double available soil water in the plant root zone
- Increase crop yields
- Increases water and nutrient use efficiency
- Maintains healthy plant roots longer, no need to regrow following a drought event
- Improves root water uptake efficiency 6-fold
- Solution that lasts for multiple generations
SWRT has the potential to improve crop production & water conservation on 80 million acres in the U.S. and some 2.5 billion acres globally.
SWRT can improve farm income, change lives, transform landscapes, and ensure long-term food production with no additional cost and very limited or no maintenance after installationn
